Love of cooking

Does anyone have a cookbook like this? I've had it since 1987, it's falling apart and I'm pretty sure some pages are missing but I love it and could never get rid of it!! 

Most of the "sections" of the book that separated are at recipes that have been used over and over.

That's one way to know if something is well used...it's condition.  I know people who receive cookbooks as gifts. I think others are trying to encourage them to cook....because they can't.  But the books sit around, never used, never loved. 

I feel sorry for an used cookbook  lol.
